Board President's Book Sales to Benefit Michigan CASA

Michigan CASA's own Dan Babin is a man of many talents. We already know and love him as our Board President, but did you know he is a published author? His new book "It Shouldn't Hurt to be Child," has just been released and is now available on Ebay!

Dan outlines his goals for the book in his own words."While all of the proceeds from this expose on the state of child neglect and abuse in our country go directly to the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) 501 C (3) volunteer organization, my greater hope is that through this book's courageous and factual confrontation of the realities, barriers and potential solutions to this heart-wrenching and untenable problem, the reader will be motivated to take the actions outlined in the book."
